It's a terrible idea to post the mugshots on a Facebook PD page. If you have municipal clients, advise them against it. People end up commenting and sharing photos. The people whose mugshots are posted get pissed. It creates conditions favorable for lawsuits.

Let the kuks be public. One of the reasons law enforcement worked well in small communities was that everyone knew who got pinched/in trouble. Things are too anonimous now, thus more tolerance for deviance of every kind. At least that way, maybe name and shame will act as a deterrent. Of course, we have subcultures now where being arrested = badge of honor, but hopefully we can grind those down as well soon.

I feel that this violates constitutional law standards. Where is the presumption of innocence when you post a photo of Joseph Smith with the caption Speeding, DUI etc. If you must post photos at leas wait until the accused has been found guilty.

As bad as that is, I guess my point is being online and searchable by name makes it that but for life and for everywhere

Sure you can go "charges were dropped" but....sheesh........I could see employers at prestigious places for sure refuses to want their establishment associated with it, even if they otherwise would hire you.
